EP4: Why Clients Struggle to Reach Their Goals

"The number 1 reason you're not hitting your goals? YOU DIDN'T ACTUALLY SET ANY." -- Meg What You'll Learn In This Episode: * Understand the real reasons clients struggle to hit their goals (and how to spot them early). * Teach clients the power of decision — and why clarity often matters more than action. * Coach clients to start with mindset and alignment before strategy or to-do lists. * Use celebration intentionally as a coaching tool to rewire the brain for consistency and success. Goal setting sounds simple — until clients start getting in their own way. In this episode, I’m sharing a Create Your Fate conversation that will benefit any coach, leader, or anyone who helps others grow. It dives into the real reasons people self-sabotage their goals and offers a perspective shift that will help you spot it faster in your sessions. You’ll gain insight into what’s actually happening beneath the surface when clients lose momentum or slip back into old patterns so you can.guide them through it with more empathy and strategy. Keep this one handy for when your clients say they “just can’t stay consistent” or when you need to reignite your own approach to goal-setting conversations.

EP3: The Top 3 Excuses Clients Will Give You to Avoid Growth

"Our time is our most non-renewable resource. If you’re constantly counting down the hours, the days, the weeks—it's not the time that’s the problem. It’s the place." -- Meg What You'll Learn In This Episode: * Recognize the subtle red flags that show when a client is disconnected from what they truly want. * Help clients shift their focus from what’s not working to the vision they actually desire. * Identify and coach through the common excuses that keep clients stuck in “someday.” * Guide clients toward small, aligned actions that reignite momentum and self-trust. As a coach, you’ll hear them again and again — the same three excuses that keep clients stuck in their comfort zones and out of their growth. In this episode, I’m sharing one of my most-listened-to episodes from Create Your Fate, reimagined here as a resource to help you recognize these patterns in your clients and respond with clarity and compassion. We’ll break down the three most common excuses you’ll hear when clients are on the edge of transformation and explore what’s really hiding underneath them so you can help them move from avoidance to action. Keep this episode handy as a guide for your own development and as a resource you can share when your clients need to see that their resistance is simply part of the process.

EP2: I’m Scared to Follow Up with Potential Clients

"Your ego will tell you not to follow up so you can stay safe — but your client’s ego will tell them not to say yes so they can stay comfortable. Growth requires both of you to move past it." -- Meg What You'll Learn In This Episode: * Why fear and overthinking show up after you share your coaching offer. * The common “thought spirals” that hold coaches back from following up. * How your ego — and your client’s ego — both resist growth in different ways. * Practical follow-up strategies that feel supportive, not salesy. Following up with a potential client can feel terrifying — even if you were brave enough to first share about coaching. Suddenly, the overthinking begins: What if they think I’m pushy? What if they were interested, they’d reach out? What if they say no? On today's episode, we’re breaking down those thought spirals and debunking the stories that hold new coaches back. You’ll learn why your ego is trying to keep you “safe,” why your client’s ego is keeping them “comfortable,” and how both can block growth. More importantly, you’ll discover practical ways to follow up that feel authentic, supportive, and confident. If you’ve ever hesitated to reach back out after sharing coaching — or avoided it altogether — this episode will help you see follow-up as part of your service, not something to fear.

EP1: What If I Don’t Know the Answer?

"You don’t have to know all the answers to be a great coach — you have to be present." -- Meg What You'll Learn In This Episode: * Why the pressure to “have all the answers” is self-induced — and how to release it. * How powerful questions and curiosity are more valuable than solutions. * Why listening and presence are your strongest coaching tools. * The secret to building confidence as a coach. What happens if your client asks you a question you don’t know how to answer? For many new coaches, that single thought creates enough dread to stop them before they even begin. In this first episode of Beyond the Coach, I share my own early coaching experiences — the panic, the imposter syndrome, and the realization that coaching isn’t about having the right answers. It’s about presence, curiosity, and holding space. Whether you’re a brand-new coach, a leader, or simply someone who others look to for guidance, this episode will give you practical ways to shift out of pressure and into curiosity. You’ll learn how to use your foundational tools, why you only need to be one step ahead, and how courage always precedes confidence. By the end, you’ll feel equipped to coach without fear of “not knowing” — and empowered to celebrate your growth along the way.
